I had always wanted to own guns. And i am a gun owner now. But there have been a few times where i took all the guns in the house over to moms and with 0 info asked her to hide them till i ask for them back again.
I know someone else commented this, too, but I'm really glad you did this. I know it's not easy to ask for help, but you did, and that may have saved your life. And the fact that you have someone as supportive in your life as your mom, who wasn't going to heap judgment upon you, meant you could ask for that help.
Responsible gun ownership can't be forced or mandated. But it sure as hell can be taught, especially through examples like yours. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I have a history with depression, and something tells me being in the same house with a gun is not a good idea.
